Change Your Password From Your Account Settings

To change your Peacock password, sign into your account on the Peacock website or app, go to your account settings, and select the password option. The system will ask you to enter your current password, then type your new password twice to confirm it matches. After you submit, your password changes when ready.

The steps are the same whether you use a web browser, the Peacock app on your phone, or a streaming device — you always change the password through your account settings, not through your device settings. If you use Peacock through a cable or internet provider login (like Comcast Xfinity or Cox), you change the password through that provider's account instead, because Peacock does not store a separate password for those accounts.

Key Takeaways

  • Sign into Peacock, open account settings, and select the password or security section to change your password from any device.
  • Your new password takes effect right away across all devices where you are signed in.
  • If you signed up through a cable or internet provider, change the password through that provider's website or app instead.
  • Write down your new password or save it in a password manager so you do not forget it when you sign in on another device.

Where to Find the Password Change Option

On the Peacock website, click the profile icon in the top right corner and select "Account" from the menu. Look for a section called "Password" or "Security Settings" — the exact label depends on whether you have a Peacock account or a provider account. Click the option to change or update your password.

On the Peacock mobile app, tap the profile icon at the bottom right, then tap "Account Settings" or "Settings." Scroll down to find "Password" or "Security" and tap it. On a streaming device like Roku, Apple TV, or Amazon Fire, you usually cannot change your password directly from the device — instead, sign into Peacock on a phone, tablet, or computer and change it there, then sign back into the device with your new password.

What Your New Password Should Include

Peacock requires passwords to be at least 8 characters long and include a mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters (like @, #, $, or !). A password like "Peacock2024!" meets these rules. A password like "peacock2024" does not, because it lacks an uppercase letter and a special character.

Avoid using your email address, username, or any word that appears in a dictionary as your entire password. Do not reuse a password you use for other accounts, because if one service is breached, hackers can try that same password on your other accounts. If you have trouble remembering a strong password, use a password manager like Bitwarden, 1Password, or the password manager built into your phone or browser — these tools generate and store passwords for you.

What Happens After You Change Your Password

Your new password works on all devices within a few minutes. If you are signed into Peacock on multiple devices — a phone, a tablet, a TV, and a computer — you do not have to sign out and back in on each one. You stay signed in, and the next time you sign out and try to sign back in, you use your new password.

If you want to sign out of all devices at once after changing your password, some accounts have a "Sign out of all devices" or "End all sessions" option in the security settings. This forces you to sign back in everywhere with your new password, which is useful if you think someone else has access to your account or if you have signed in on a device you no longer use.

If You Forgot Your Password

Go to the Peacock sign-in page and click "Forgot password?" Enter the email address connected to your account. Peacock sends a password reset link to that email. Click the link, and you can create a new password without knowing the old one.

Check your spam or junk folder if you do not see the reset email within a few minutes. If you no longer have access to the email address on your account, contact Peacock support through the help section on the website — they can verify your identity and help you regain access. If you signed up through a provider like Comcast or Cox, use that provider's password reset process instead.

Provider Accounts and Password Changes

If you signed into Peacock using your Comcast Xfinity, Cox, or other cable or internet provider login, you do not have a separate Peacock password. Your Peacock access is tied to your provider account. To change the password you use to sign into Peacock, log into your provider's website or app and change the password there.

After you change your provider password, use the new password the next time you sign into Peacock. You do not need to do anything in the Peacock app itself. If you are unsure whether you have a Peacock account or a provider account, try clicking "Forgot password?" on the Peacock sign-in page — if it sends a reset link to your email, you have a Peacock account. If it tells you to contact your provider, you signed up through a provider.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to change my password on every device I use?

No. Change your password once in your account settings, and it works on all devices. You only need to sign in again on a device if you have signed out, or if Peacock signs you out automatically after a period of inactivity.

What if I change my password and forget the new one right away?

Use the "Forgot password?" link on the sign-in page to reset it. You can change your password as many times as you need. There is no limit to how often you can reset it.

Can I change my password if I am not signed in?

No. You must be signed into your Peacock account to change the password. If you are not signed in, use the "Forgot password?" option to reset it instead.

Will changing my password delete my watch history or saved shows?

No. Your watch history, saved shows, and all other account data stay the same. Changing your password only changes the password itself.
